Who

Experience and achievements

Rebecca Peel

Managing Director

I am an experienced marketer within the branding and design industry. Over the past decade, I was responsible for developing the awards strategy to achieve both internal and external business objectives at Elmwood. Directing and overseeing the entry process, I was also responsible for creating and driving the awards calendar, and educating and inspiring the global team to victory. The achievement of which I am most proud is maintaining Elmwood’s top of the league position in the DBA’s Design Effectiveness Awards for nine years running – effectively allowing them to substantiate their positioning of ‘the world’s most effective design consultancy’. Something that was integral to their business success.

I’ve been involved in writing and managing many successful entries over the years, ranging from the Food & Beverage Awards (FAB) to the Yorkshire Post Excellence in Business Awards.

And not forgetting 46 DBA Design Effectiveness Awards in the past decade.

A few kind words

From some of the best people in the business.

“Rebecca worked for me for 15 years and is a truly outstanding individual. A rare talent who goes above and beyond with care and diligence and always with a smile on her face.”

Jonathan Sands, OBE

Vexillifer, Elmwood

“Rebecca is an exceptional award writer – articulating the effectiveness of design, and compiling it in a compelling way that appeals across a range of award schemes (and case studies). Time and time again I watched her take the bones of a project and worked diligently to craft and lift it to its full potential. Or put it this way; I ran the DBA Design Effectiveness Awards for 5 years, and I go to *her* for advice.”

Natalie Maher

CEO, Pollitt & Partners

“Rebecca is very smart and focused. She takes real ownership and responsibility for projects, really knows her stuff, is super organised and cares passionately about her work. She always has a calm attitude and is a friendly and positive person to work with.”
